(a) Fractional coverage of the ‘broadleaf tree’ plant functional type simulated for decades throughout the twenty-first century by the HadCM3LC coupled climate-carbon cycle model driven by the IS92a emissions scenario. (b) Difference in precipitation (mm d⁻¹) between simulations with forest loss as shown in (a) with vegetation fixed at pre-industrial state (30-year mean centred approx. 2080).
